Cool thanks for the info MizTanks, going to pick some of it up. I guess I could put a Mohawk on my scarlet then, lol He's always been more of a punk rocker.
TRying to stay away from chemicals. I did switch salt about 3 months ago? I was using R/C and then went to reef solutions house salt, cant remember the name.

Chris, you certainly want to address those params first... My experience with GHA was much like your own. Then, I took my family on a 8 day vacation. Of course, that meant NO FEEDING for over a week. On return, the GHA was 99% gone, and has never really returned (50 weeks later, and counting).
So, what happened? Starving the fish meant no new nutrients into the tank. And then it occurred to me - just cuz they EAT it all doesn't mean there is no nutrient load. The fish gotta poop it out too. That's nutrient load as well. Perhaps my "starving" fish ate some algae too, I don't know. But, I have them on the kind of diet my fat butt should be on right now, and the clowns have doubled in size anyways...
And, like your crab, I thought my son was just being a good Spartan, but maybe this was where the GHA went?
